[Idea] Collapsible bullets for list items

Creating the ability to collapse large bodies of text underneath ordered or un-ordered list items would greatly improve fan creations on this platform. For example, the following:

  1. Lore [extremely detailed and enthralling description of the events, characteristics, and associations given to the character by its creator for the purpose of integrating them into the in-game universe. The idiom by which the champion operates and their motivation for being a member of the league]
  2. Abilities [*An extremely overpowered passive which makes the champion super-strong and do tons of damage. *An extremely overpowered Q which deals tons of damage. *An exorbitantly overpowered W which deals tons of damage. A superfluously overpowered E which deals tons of damage. *An anticlimactic ultimate that doesn't fit with the theme of the kit]
  3. Gameplay [How the champion feels, according to the creator, and how they deal tons of damage no matter what they or their enemies do. Sometimes it includes the counterplay to them, but probably not since this is Trinity the Tons of Damage Dealer.]

Would be reduced to three hyperlink lines:

  1. Lore
  2. Abilities
  3. Gameplay

This would work to make the first post of a discussion (in the fan creation page) more of a Table of Contents so that larger bodies of work aren't nearly as imposing. This also translates well to story-based authors, like CaptainMarvelous, whom would be able to place each of their new chapters in the original post and collapse them for ease of access.

Allowing all of the associated formatting within the brackets (or whatever formatting string is chosen) would also be very nice (I tried with the Abilities set to show the "*" for un-ordered list items, but the system decided to italicize everything instead).

Restrictions should be that the option is only allotted for the main post, that the number of characters shown, on screen, does not exceed the maximum character limit for a post (I have no idea what that limit is, right now), and (if this is the general consensus) it only start out available for Fan Creations.

Hopefully I've explained this properly and it is a well received suggestion. If you have concerns or comments, feel free to post them below and I'll try to clear anything up.

Little confused but I think I somewhat get the gist of what your saying maybe....
